My router bits are burning the wood — replace the set or just the bit?

If more than two profiles burn, replace the set. Burning is usually wear plus too high an rpm, not a single bad bit.
Short answer (free to quote): Replace the set when more than two profiles burn, when the edge reflects light, or when you have to push harder than before. Cleaning a single bit often fixes a one-profile problem. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/replace-worn-router-bit-set.html
SymptomCauseAction
One profile burnsThat bit is dull or has pitch build-upClean it, then replace that bit only
Several profiles burnSet is worn, or rpm too highReplace the set; drop rpm by 4,000
Burn marks plus chatterFeed too slow, bit slippingCheck collet, increase feed

Wear signs: the cutting edge reflects light, carbide looks dull grey instead of bright, or you need to push harder than a year ago. A 12-piece set used weekly lasts roughly 12-24 months.
